Toulouse vs Strasbourg Prediction 12 January 2025

🔊 Is Strasbourg capable of aiming for a fourth consecutive victory? In the 17th round of Ligue 1, the team will have to visit Toulouse, which has also been gaining decent momentum. Both teams are in the top 10 of the French championship but have yet to get close to the European competition zone. And three points in the head-to-head clash could help the winner achieve this goal. Our editorial team analyzed the statistical data and selected a prediction for the upcoming game.

📊 H2H

In the head-to-head encounters between these teams, Strasbourg has significantly pulled ahead, securing five victories in the last ten meetings. Meanwhile, Toulouse has managed to win only once during this period. These teams don't score often, with no more than two goals scored in three of their last five matches. Therefore, we advise considering the option of a Total goals under 2.5.

🟣 Toulouse

Toulouse has long recovered from a poor start to the season and is now racking up victories one after another. Eighteen points gained in the previous eight rounds allowed the "little ones" to soar to eighth place in Ligue 1. The new calendar year started very successfully for them, with an away victory over Lens (1:0), as beating the "blood and gold" on their field is not something many can achieve.

Everything is going perfectly for the "violets." While other clubs suffer from a shortage of players due to numerous injuries, Toulouse can boast a full roster of players. Even those who were recently in the infirmary are recovering and will likely be able to take the field soon.

🔵 Strasbourg

Strasbourg has been looking very good in attack lately - for three matches in a row, the team has managed to score three goals. And these goals don't come out of nowhere: Rosienor's charges have become more aggressive upfront, creating many dangerous moments. In the previous three rounds of Ligue 1, they managed to gain seven points and break into the top ten of the championship, which is already a decent achievement.

However, the club faces many lineup problems throughout the season. New faces keep appearing in the infirmary, and some never change. Currently, Strasbourg cannot rely on defenders Delaine and Wahi, as well as forwards Mothiba and Dion.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals

Toulouse has significantly decreased in terms of scoring. Five goals in the last five rounds of Ligue 1 and a goal drought in a cup match speak volumes about this. Furthermore, the "little ones" didn't score against Strasbourg in two games last season. Therefore, it is worth trying the option with Toulouse's individual total goals under 1.5.

🚩 Prediction on Corners

Looking at the statistical indicators of these teams, our editorial team decided that one should not expect a large number of corner kicks. The clubs are too modest in this regard: Toulouse averages eight, while Strasbourg averages only 6.9 corners per match. Thus, we advise betting on Total corners under 9.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Both teams performed well in previous rounds. But while Strasbourg's opponents allowed them to play and create many scoring chances, Toulouse snatched victories in matches against much more serious opponents. On their home field, the "little ones" can claim another three points despite Strasbourg's resistance. We assume that the match will end with a 1-0 victory for Toulouse.

However, a large victory for the "violets" is unlikely, given their far from optimal conversion of chances in previous matches and their history against Strasbourg. Our editorial team believes it's worth betting on Total goals under 3.
